shocks arent going to change your flex rate unless they are severly preloaded and push the axle down an extra nch, btu big deal.

tpo get your shocks to work best it would be best to do lots of measuring where you want to mount the shock. measure maximum up travel, and maximum down travel. then see what shock works best for your application
you may have to move the shock monts to get it to work right.

also, if its mounted in front of the axle it will uise a longer shock, and progressivly use a smallerl ength shock as you mount it on the radius atrm and continuie brin g it back towards the radius rm frame mount.

the more you bring it back towards the radiius arm frame mount, the less dampining the shock acually does, but it uses a smaller cheaper shock........
you have to comprimise...
try mounting it on the radius arm just behind the axle tube.

so get out youir tape measure, go to town

dave you mentioned when you removed your front ones it was better, like taking off the sway bars. do you mean it flexes better or what?

his front ones where probably not the perfect length for his application..... also since his was in front of the axle. read my post...

why not fab your own ****ing shock mounts then?
its just a shock mount.....

geez, dont get your panties in a knot. i will end up doing just that. do you always resort to profanity? do you kiss your mom with that mouth? i didnt see a 78-9 on your trailer but i do appreciate your input. keep going...

well, ive owned a coil sprung 78 bronco, so... :goodfinge

and so tell us all, how did the pro comp dual shock kit work on your 78? and when you removed the front two shocks after having the quad setup, what was that like? do tell, i cant wait to read your feelings on this matter.

dont know, as i only drove it about the last 20 feet of its life up onto my trailer.

 

[Davids78Bronco]

my bad dude, with all that 20 minutes in a 78 under your belt, i should kneel before the one true authority in this matter. bless us with your learned opinion on the handling characteristics on that 20 foot trail run...

trail run? parking lot to trailer!

i answered your question on shocks and why it would flex better, and now you get all bitchy
